Most business owners are stitching together three vendors. A bookkeeper who doesn't talk to the CPA. A CPA who shows up in March. A "strategist" who bills by the hour to tell them what they already know. By the time everyone catches up, the tax bill is already written. We built FM Accounting to close that gap. What we do
Bookkeeping & CAS. Monthly close, clean financials, cash flow visibility. Your books ready for a lender, an investor, or a buyer any month of the year. No January panic. Tax Preparation. Federal, state, and multi-state filings for S-corps, partnerships, LLCs, and PLLCs. Individual returns for owners and partners. Filed on time, defensible on audit, aligned with the strategy we've been building all year. Proactive Tax Strategy. Entity structure, owner compensation, retirement vehicles, real estate, and PLLC-specific planning for law firm partners. We model the tax impact before you make the decision, not after. Advisory for Law Firm Owners. Trust accounting hygiene, IOLTA compliance, partner distributions, and profitability per matter. Built for solo and small-firm attorneys who want a CPA who actually understands how a law practice runs. Owner Financial Clarity. Quarterly reviews with the owner, not just the bookkeeper. What the numbers mean, what to do about them, and what's coming next quarter. Who we work with
Business owners doing $500K to $10M in revenue, and small law firms (solos, partnerships, and PLLCs) who are done being reactive with their numbers and want one firm accountable for the whole picture. We don't take every business that calls. The ones we take want a real partner, not a March-only filer. The firm
Founded in 2018 by Fady Mourice Mseih, CPA. Headquartered in Chicago. Licensed to work with clients across all 50 US states. Ready for a real partner? Message us or book a free consultation.

Harvest season is demanding enough—don't let taxes eat into your hard-earned profits! 🚜🌾

Standard tax rules don't tell the whole story for agricultural producers. If you run a farm or agribusiness, you have access to specialized tax plays that can save you serious cash.

Let’s make sure your books are audit-ready before the season ends. Optimize your ag-business strategy today! 👇

⏳ Time is up. Thursday, October 15 is your final IRS deadline.

If you filed an extension in April, this is the hard cutoff. Missing it means unnecessary late-filing penalties and compounding interest on any balance due.

Sign your forms, review your numbers, and hit send today. Let's get this across the finish line before midnight. 💼

Federal agencies are actively cross-referencing pandemic relief data with business tax returns. 🚨

Over $200 billion in suspected PPP and EIDL discrepancies have been flagged, placing an estimated $100 billion under scrutiny for related tax liabilities, reporting mismatches, and unauthorized fund usage. 📉

Key areas under review:
• Discrepancies between reported PPP payroll costs and filed quarterly payroll returns (Forms 941 and 940).
• Overlapping payroll expenses claimed across both PPP forgiveness and the Employee Retention Credit (ERC).
• Inadequate documentation for EIDL proceeds used outside of authorized working capital expenses.
• Misreported tax treatments of loan forgiveness and deductible business expenses.

Clean, fully reconciled financial records and aligned tax filings remain the most effective protection against compliance inquiries. 🛡️💼

Q4 isn’t won in December—it’s won right now. 🎯

September is your mid-game review. It’s the sweet spot to fix cash leaks, collect what you're owed, and set up your most profitable quarter yet.

Before the busy season hits, take 60 minutes this week to run this 3-step check:

1. Audit your margins: Which offerings actually made you money this year, and which ones just took up calendar space? Focus on what converts.
2. Cut silent cash drains: Cancel the unused software, apps, and zombie subscriptions eating into your bottom line.
3. Collect your receivables: Stop letting unpaid invoices slide. Follow up on outstanding balances now so your cash flow stays strong going into Q4.

Small tweaks in September save you thousands in December.

Save this post for your weekly CEO check-in, and share it with a business owner gearing up for Q4.
